I've had prosport coilovers on my Octy VRS for few years now, and tbh i've not been impressed with them overall. They are now completely shot and need replacing. I was initially going for the FK coilovers but the place I ordered them from have now emailed me stating they are out of stock and offering me either the JOM Blueline or Prosport as a replacement, which I have no interest in what so ever.

 

I did initially look at the AP coilovers, but was put off by the fact they only drop to 50mm. I like the way my car currently sits ride height / looks wise, but wanted to raise it slightly for general use to make it more practical, but like the option of being able to go low again for shows. So my question is: How the the AP's look when they are on in real terms? I'd be interested to see some pics off anyone has them as i'm a little stuck at the moment. I had ordered some other bits to go along with the FK's to do a bit of a suspension refresh, and to be now told they don't have them has landed me in it somewhat.

 

Any advice or suggestions for possible alternatives would be appreciated.

i have ap's and the cars low enough, i often ground out my lovely exhaust on the road. and i have to avoid speed bumps at all cost.

Thanks mate. I've ordered the AP kit so I'll see how they are when I fit them at the weekend. 

Please do let me know what you think of them as I'm currently debating what coilovers to get for mine. I do like the idea of adjustability, like you said; a realistic height for the roads we have and the option of going lower for shows and things. I wouldn't mind a set of STs or KW variant 1s but they're a fair chunk of change so I'm intrigued to know what a slightly cheaper set is like to live with. Thanks! 

Mine is fitted with AP’s. Fairly hard on LCR top mounts but decent on RS top mounts.
